And So It Begins...

I am starting this new blog so that I can post about my adventures in the Kingdom.

Alternate names for this blog:

A Year of No Pants
One Day When I Made this Bad Decision
Going Commando in the Kingdom
Precarious and Absurd Situations Without Pants
Pantsless in the Kingdom

Perhaps you can sense a theme here.

For Details of my last extended bout of travel, see my old blog: Unavoidably Detained By The World

Quotes

"You can't just read the guide book. You've got to throw yourself in, eat the food, use the wrong verbs, get charged double and end up kissing complete strangers - or is that just me? Stop asking questions. Go and do it!"
--Doctor Who

“I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.”-- Herman Melville

“I always secretly looked forward to nothing going as planned. That way, I wasn't limited by my imagination. That way, anything can, and always did, happen.”
--?

“A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.”
--Lao Tzu

"I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can't read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can't even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.”
--Bill Bryson

“I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.”
Mary Ann Radmacher
